No star treatment for Karr in L.A.

LOS ANGELES — John Mark Karr lunched on a bologna sandwich, carrots and an apple in the Los Angeles County jail on Monday, a day after he was served seafood and champagne aboard a flight from Thailand to face charges in the murder of JonBenet Ramsey nearly 10 years ago.

Karr, who spent the day in the facility that once housed O.J. Simpson and actor Robert Blake, is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday to announce whether he will oppose extradition to Colorado, where 6-year-old JonBenet was murdered Dec. 26, 1996.

If Karr decides to fight the move to Colorado, prosecutors say it could take a few days before he is cleared to go.

"What we're really focusing on is getting him back to Colorado and getting through that first appearance and going from there," said Carolyn French, a spokeswoman for the Boulder County, Colo., district attorney.

Jail officials said Karr met with a San Jose attorney Monday morning.

It was unclear, however, whether she or anyone else was representing him.

French would not comment on whether Karr gave up any more information about the case during the long flight from Bangkok, on which he was served courses of fried king prawns, roast duck, champagne, beer and wine.

Karr has told reporters that he was with JonBenet when she died in the basement of her Boulder home. He said her death was an accident.

Prosecutors in Boulder have declined to provide details of their evidence suggesting Karr's alleged involvement in JonBenet's murder.

Media organizations including The Associated Press on Monday asked a judge to unseal the arrest warrant and other documents involving Karr. The filing noted previous mistakes in the crime's investigation and said there was "great public interest" in whether Karr's arrest was "yet another `mistake,'" AP reported.

In an Aug. 15 order, Boulder County District Judge Roxanne Bailin ordered case documents sealed, saying disclosure could jeopardize the investigation. Monday's filing asked her to consider releasing edited versions of the documents if she ruled against their full release.

On the international flight, Karr was flanked by an investigator with the Boulder County District Attorney's Office and federal immigration officials. None could be reached for comment.
